the command.
The final step is the avoidance phase in which the dog
learns that he can avoid the stimulation altogether by
performing your commands. When these training
procedures are complete, the e-collar is used as a reminder
when the dog does not comply with your commands at
home or in the field. Keep your initial training sessions
short and positive as dogs have a short attention span.
How Much Stimulation to Use
Always start with low levels of stimulation and work
your way up depending on the disposition of your dog
and the given situation. By using the correct amount of
stimulation to get your point across, you will have a more
controllable environment and a dog that is under less
stress. Animals (and humans) perform better in a less
stressful environment.
For more training information, please consult with a
professional dog trainer.

the receiver and clean out any dirt or debris.
